The George Verwer Collection
About fifteen years ago I agreed to have some of my spoken messages put into print in the form of a book Come! Live! Die!, now entitled Hunger for Reality. To my amazement, since then I have received over 14,000 personal letters, most of which I have tried to answer. That book has now been translated into over twenty languages, so these letters have come from all over the world. It is especially with these people in mind that I have gone ahead with this new book. As I reread, added to, and subtracted from the material Tony Collins took and compiled from my message tapes, I almost decided to cancel the project. To my mind, there are already so many better books than this one. Being able to mention some of them in this book has helped me to press on with it. Mainly, however, it has been the perseverance and hard work of Tony that has made this book a reality. I am constantly challenged by the way I see God use the printed page. Even in the past weeks I have found myself making a deeper commitment to the distribution of Christian literature. This firstly means prayer for people to develop a greater spiritual appetite. When this happens, people may even take down from their shelves great books that have been sitting there for years and begin to read them. It is my prayer that people will not just read books, especially this one, but that they will learn to be a blessing to others by distributing books. Remember there are tens of millions who have never read a single Christian book, or even a portion of Scripture, for that matter. We can, and must, do something about this. This book is basically for people who already know Christ as their Lord and Savior. Unless you have at least begun in your Christian life through true faith in Christ, you may find it a little difficult to understand. On the other hand, I thought this was also true of my last book, and, to my amazement, a good number have come to know Christ through reading that… So where you go from here is really up to you. And remember, what you do with the message of these pages will determine whether many other people will ever hear the message of Christ at all. God wants to use weak ordinary people to do great things for him. God wants to use you!
